With the summer heat and humidity blazing down on us lately, it’s tough to think that in a few short weeks (boy—does summer go fast!) we’ll be heading into the fall. The autumn is a perfect time to embark on home remodeling and custom home building construction projections.
Here at RemodelWerks, we’ve walked countless homeowners through the remodeling process—from bringing their initial vision to life using cutting-edge 3D design technology to plot out their new space, firming up their budget and obtaining the necessary permits from their towns to demolishing walls, cabinets, flooring and other features that must come out so the new design can come in! Finally, we continue to deliver high-quality construction services and finish work to give our clients’ phenomenal new spaces they can enjoy for years to come.The fact is, though, sometimes we’re not the first contractor on the job. That means sometimes we must correct things that may not have been done properly in the first place. Fortunately, we’ve got years of custom design/build experience so we are not intimidated by this. But, we’d like to share with you some of the top things homeowners often tell us they wish they’d done right in the first place.
What makes 01545 such a special zip code? It represents Shrewsbury, Mass., that’s what!
Early on what set Shrewsbury apart was the fact that it wasn’t a traditional farming village or mill town. In fact, Shrewsbury—known as a “streetcar suburb”—grew in large part due to its proximity to Worcester, the bustling city to its west! This all dates back to 1727 when Shrewsbury first incorporated, and nowadays, Shrewsbury has got plenty of more reasons that make it a very special place to live and work.

Remodeling projects are on the rise, according to recent poll by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The AIA, which has surveyed 500 architects every quarter to gather data for its Home Design Trend Survey, found that homeowners amped up their remodeling projects for two quarters in a row for the first time since the start of the economic disaster that began in 2007, the Baltimore Business Journal reported recently.
